FLASH: B&W Photographs and Flash for School Reunion Page

[DeJarnett, Gary]

Thanks for the tips Hiro,

As far as preloading, I�m still searching for ideas on how to entertain the

ex-students from the school, and get them into the �old school spirit� mood

while images are loading.  I would want this to be something randomized so

it�s not boring the second time someone goes to the site.

The photographs will only be used to try to create a �reminiscing� sort of

mood for the school reunion page, so the quality (sharpness, etc..) of the

image will not be of utmost importance so long as people can recognize their

old friends.  I know I�ve seen pages on the net with this �remember the old

times� look, but I just can�t remember where they are now (or how to achieve

this).  Does anyone have any suggestions on decisions I should make before

even scanning the images (resolution, etc�) or for achieving an �olden days�

look?

Thanks again for the input,

Gary (

*	Import all images in .bmp or png format...the flash exporting

process will allow you to toggle the quality of JPEG compression.

*	and this I learned recently, but when you fade the b/w in and out.

set your alpha percentages from 0% to 99%, because for some reason, if you

tween your images from 0% to 100% alpha, the images reshift and jump around.

*	also, if you�re planning on fading alot of images, it would be wise

to set a preload action for your images to load first.  You can do this w/

the �if loaded� command in the actions menu.
